Bargi, a young Hamer girl, takes a large amount of pride in her appearance. Her clothing, jewellery and hair are carefully arranged and require a lot of attention. Her key responsibility , however, is to look after a cattle herd and lead them to pasture each day.
John Kenny’s work is all shot on location in some of the remotest corners of Africa. His images are all taken with natural light and in their day to day attire.
The C-type prints are mounted with an acrylic face mount giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and a contemporary look.
